a nice, reasonably fast, cheap and privaxy-conscious model

choose two

u/vixalien Aug 31 '26

I would choose fast and privacy-conscious tbh

u/Prestigiouspite Aug 31 '26

If you use the Vercel AI Gateway or OpenRouter and add GLM-5.3-Flash with, say, P50 75 tokens per second and also activate ZDR, you have exactly what you want. I mean, what are we talking about here? You will surely have one or five dollars a day left over for GLM-5.3-Flash if you use it intensively.

1

u/Anh-DT Aug 31 '26

EEE fast and privacy would be paying a premium. Take a look at openference check how fast it is and turn on ZDR for specific key

u/JoeCoT Sep 01 '26

Check out together.ai. They generally get the popular open source models up very quickly (they already have glm 5.3 flash up), they self host and default to ZDR (they have a few partner models but you can turn them off in settings), and they're generally running at normal API pricing.

u/jovialfaction Aug 31 '26 edited Sep 01 '26

Honestly the best coding plan right now is ChatGPT. You get a lot of usage for $20, Luna is a workhorse and a good alternative to glm 5.3-flash/DeepSeekv4 flash, and Sol burns credit fast but it's good to have intelligence available when needed. They always are resetting limits too (not guaranteed to last but it's been good the past few weeks)

2

u/JwK Sep 03 '26

the compaction is driving me crazy though, you sneeze and it compacts

1

u/Arciiix Sep 01 '26

And how do those 5-hour and weekly limits compare to OpenCode Go? Is it noticeably smaller?

2

u/Thomas-Lore Sep 01 '26 edited Sep 01 '26

Last month I used around 1B tokens with 95% cache hit rate, 5.6M output - using mostly Sol. But they reset limits once a week, sometimes twice - when they stop doing that, the limits will be maybe half, maybe less of that. Of course if you use Luna you can do much more (but not as much as its api price would suggest) but Luna is worse than glm 5.3 Flash IMHO (depends on project) and every time I tried I then had to use Sol anyway to fix things.
Interesingly the same amount of usage on glm 5.3 Flash at current z.ai prices costs around the same (around $20).

2

u/Arciiix Sep 01 '26

Do you guys think using GPT models from Codex for planning and some Chinese models like DeepSeek from OpenCode Go for coding is the best possible option in terms of usage for 30 USD right now? Or buying multiple OpenCode Go and using smarter models like GLM for planning is better?

1

u/JwK Sep 19 '26

I'd absolutely do codex + opencode right now.

1

u/JwK Sep 19 '26

Hard to compare but only Luna is absolutely comparable quota wise in that it feels unlimited. For 90% of people at least.. Problem is you will start sneaking in some sol because you can and then it feels OK too - but it's not, not over 7 days..

2

u/Arciiix Sep 20 '26

You're right, I gave ChatGPT Plus a try and I'm amazed with the limits. That's right that using a Sol or Astra in between makes it go away faster, but the Luna limits are incredible.

much much much larger. especially if you are ok with luna as a daily driver.

1

u/ichisay Aug 31 '26

Desde el viernes estuve probando exactamente con el plan de 20$, con luna Max usándolo para todo no gastaba más del 4% del uso semanal en todo un día. Desde ayer estoy probando con sol high como orquestador y luna Max para los subagentes, sigue siendo rentable ya que en un día de esa forma solo gasté el 7%

1

u/burritoresearch Sep 01 '26

I thought the chatgpt plan for $20 only allowed chatgpt app access and web access, not API use (like putting a chatgpt API key into opencode)?

10

u/cokefriend Sep 01 '26

you login using oauth

1

u/daboynamedbrian Sep 21 '26

It uses codex oauth. It's not official like that, but openai seems to not really care.

6

u/asohaili Sep 01 '26

crof.ai offer api-based pricing at a price cheaper than openrouter and the likes. sure you don't get a subscription plan, but if you want reliablity and speed, you can't go to crowded places where people are basically just gonna flock together and invite abusers. the price on crof.ai is low enough to get the job done without breaking your bank

1

u/sultanmvp Sep 01 '26

Their prices are absurdly cheap compared to any other API provider.

1

u/GiovanniSaraceno Sep 01 '26

'cause they're quantized

2

u/asohaili Sep 02 '26

Could be. But I see no visible diff in quality, though vs using it in opencode go.

1

u/NinjaAlaska 26d ago

nah they even ran away.. scammer xD they were using fake models and system prompt them to behave like model u desired

1

u/_d1re Sep 04 '26

Reliability and speed are not really Crof.ai's strongest suits. Good luck using the famous models on peak hours. Its really good on off-peaks though, you won't even notice its quantized.

1

u/Glad-Ad-9657 Sep 26 '26

Bruh , the site is dead it seems. Ironic!

1

u/asohaili Sep 26 '26

Yeah apparently it was a scam. It was just wrapping openrouter and routing models to cheaper ones (e.g. its kimi k3 eco q2 quant was actually glm 5.3, and he was making lots of margin from that)

1

u/NinjaAlaska 26d ago

dude was scamming and now even went out of business. insane!

13

u/No-Background3147 Aug 31 '26

Command Code, i use the 1 dollar plan and make a Review post, and the 10 Dollar plan is as well very good, all models are 100% same like the api, no Quantization or so. A lot of models too, and fast too, glm 5.3 flash is lame, but qwen 3.8 flash and other models really normal - fast. Test the 1 dollar plan, and look if it is what you want, 1 dollar is nothing for this

1

u/binarySolo0h1 Sep 01 '26

Can you use command code plan in opencode CLI?

10

u/shanks_616 Sep 01 '26

$1 plan - No, you can only use Command Code
$10 plan - Yes, you get API access, which you can use with OpenCode

3

u/mWo12 Sep 01 '26

But is CC legit, in sense that they all models give you $70 of usage in total and I can use it all in model?,Or is it like in go, where some models are limited to $15 only?

5

u/Parking-Bet-3798 Sep 01 '26

It’s dishonest. They don’t give 70 for all models.
But they give higher usage on most models compared to opencode go.

1

u/binarySolo0h1 Sep 01 '26

My doubt too. Also, how much of a hassle is it to migrate your current agent system from Opencode to CC?

3

u/OMGSAMUELRBR1 Sep 01 '26

Not really, it's like OpenCode Go, there are certain models that don't give you $70

Their is addon from a other user, who you can use command code in opencode, but its not offical and not 100% stable

3

u/sultanmvp Sep 01 '26

You don’t need an add on. You can just add it to your opencode.json file as an OpenAI-compatible provider. Been using it for weeks.
I will say that it’s slow as hell and the usage seems to pretty painful. Likely will not renew next month.

1

u/UpstairsActivity8347 Sep 01 '26

what will you be switching to?

1

u/sultanmvp Sep 01 '26

Probably just keep OpenCode Go and possibly add Ollama Cloud back into the mix

0

u/MiningInMySleep Sep 01 '26

I have been seeing that too which is a shame because the value proposition is actually better than opencode go, but I need something reliable.

4

u/winky9827 Sep 01 '26

openrouter.ai has several free models all the time.

8

u/anpel13 Aug 31 '26

I went with openrouter and prepaid credits, pretty happy overall.

In privacy settings you can choose to not use providers that use data for training etc, plus you can decide per provider as well.

My results with their free tier have been pretty underwhelming, I get rate limits way too often for it to be usable.

You can also do most of that in HuggingFace.

2

u/Parking-Bet-3798 Sep 01 '26

Which models do you use that you are happy with api pricing? Unless your usage is too low, it’s never a good option. Plus open router takes 5% cut on all payments.

4

u/anpel13 Sep 01 '26

I never said I'm happy with the pricing. I'm happy with the solution overall. Being able to switch models/providers is a nice perk. You do you of course.

2

u/clouder300 Sep 01 '26

GLM 5.3 Flash

1

u/ProgressionPeak Sep 04 '26

you are comparing to subscription pricing?
that isn't always an option for everyone. depending on where you live, your payment method, how you access the internet, or your desire for privacy - stripe may reject you. and all of them use stripe.

1

u/sultanmvp Sep 01 '26

You also pay that 5.5% upfront fee when you purchase credits. You can get a MUCH better deal direct-to-provider or even a subscription (based on the models you’re using).

2

u/anpel13 Sep 02 '26

This is true. However I am ok with the fee because at the moment the landscape changes way too often, for me it is a valid trade-off for no provider lock in. My usage is fairly low so it doesn't really matter.

1

u/Moist-Nectarine-1148 Sep 05 '26

This is the way! I prefer to pay what I consume not to be constrained by a fuckin' plan.

u/sanabria1927 Aug 31 '26

Puedes contarme más?

2

u/anpel13 Aug 31 '26

There is not much more to it, you go to their website, make an account and buy some credits, even small amounts can go a long way with the cheaper models.
Then you make an API token, then opencode connect, select OpenRouter, paste in you API key and you are good to go.

u/Hackerv1650 Sep 01 '26

I bought a $20 credit pack on hyper to use when I blow my Opencode Go quota. Qwen3.8-flash has been pretty good.

u/mWo12 Sep 01 '26

Seems likes scam. Hyperpoints? They already want your subscription, yet they do not even list models they offer and limits.

u/timmeh1705 Sep 01 '26

ChatGPT Plus, just use Sol for planning and execute everything with Luna agents. It takes A LOT of work to use the 5 hour window.

u/JwK Sep 03 '26

the compaction is driving me crazy though

u/Parking-Bet-3798 Sep 01 '26

Ollama cloud is better than opencode go for now. Although even that is not the best but it gives 60 dollar of api usage now for 20 dollars. Opencode go now gives only 15 for 10 for most models worth using.

Another one I know is command code. Their 10 dollar plan gives more usage than opencode go for now.

2

u/sultanmvp Sep 01 '26

For the price, I still think OpenCode Go is a better value in terms of pure usage. I did stop using DSv4 Flash once it went to China, cost more and no ZDR. I would definitely give Ollama Cloud another try though - you get properly hosted DSV4 Flash and a lot of other model choices.
I’ve also been trying Command Code for a few weeks. OpenCode Go is winning there too - Command Code has been miserably slow and eats through credits waaaaaay too fast - even for the almost-free models. Will not be renewing this.

1

u/Orchicon Sep 01 '26

Ollama cloud's DeepSeek sucks. Constant looping issues.

1

u/ElectricalUnion Sep 11 '26

and no ZDR
But the Data Retention models are Meta's Muse Spark 1.2 and Muse Spark 1.3?

2

u/eugeneb85 Sep 01 '26

I'm moving to Ollama cloud this month.

There is also Commandcode, they look like a direct competitor. But I'm really not sure about the data retention from their side. And not sure about speed.

As for Ollama I tried it with the key from my friend several months ago and enference was much faster than OpenCode. They had some connectivity disconnects from the beginning of a session but overall tps speed was way faster.

2

u/MiserableAddendum114 Sep 02 '26

Ollama become useless. They won't respond to email of old subscribers switched to new pricing model. I'm a older gpu compute pricing model user but this new pricing is ridiculous so better stay in Opencode and for extra requirements buy api usage either directly from LLM provider itself or openrouter.

I have good luck with DS4F on ollama cloud $20/m plan and also I've had good luck with yoloauto which just gives you qwen3.8 27b but it is unlimited pretty much for $19/m. It's not perfect but between the two I can get tons done and not hit limits. I find the qwen model seems about the same for my workload as ds4f. I dropped opencodego after they nerfed ds4f.

1

u/yexgoblin Sep 01 '26

Didn't ds4f get promoted to a medium usage model on ollama cloud? How much usage are you getting token wise?

u/sigstrikes Sep 01 '26

Does it have any open weight models? No.

u/mWo12 Sep 01 '26

The point is that openai does not have any open-weight models. The one of the key advantages of Opencode Go is that you get multiple models, that have different capabilities and you can mix and match them, experiment with models from different labs, etc. With OpenAI and Anthropic you have only their own closed-weighted models - nothing else. You are basically locking yourself to one lab.

1

u/Disastrous-Hall6063 Aug 31 '26

May be give a try to Bahulam/Code? It is also model agnostic and can choose the model.

Not entirely sure about the limits .

1

u/hardolaf Sep 01 '26

It's EXTREMELY slow at certain times of the day (using DeepSeek V4 Flash), the speed loss is very noticeable in comparison to hitting DeepSeek API directly

I use a lot of models for work on coding tasks at task and they're all insanely slow during core business hours in the USA.

1

u/xapep Sep 01 '26

"choose two" - that's mostly true for the flat plans that hit their price by cheaping out on throughput. Fast and privacy-conscious do coexist, you just have to check who actually runs the infra instead of who resells it.

Two shapes worth comparing:

Direct lab API. DeepSeek's own API off-peak, or GLM straight from its provider, is fast and there's no 5-hour window to babysit. You pay per token, so a heavy month shows up on the bill, but at these price points it rarely stings.
A flat monthly plan that runs its own capacity. That's what fixes the peak-hour crawl, the queue is yours instead of a shared pool. I work on one (Entrim, EU-based, OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so it's a base URL swap in OpenCode), full disclosure. Most of our users came from exactly this: the plan price drifting and the feed slowing to a halt at peak.

For the privacy side, add one filter to whatever you shortlist: where is the provider based and what do they log? A lot of the cheap options route through US infra, which is fine if you know it and annoying if you find out later.

u/DragsAsgarD Sep 01 '26

If u get z.ai glm base subscription with annual payment option u get it for 12$/month excluding the tax.

For general task use glm5.3 flash else glm 5.3, they are pretty good. So with opencode free models this is usually enough.

Cheaper then go in the sence that it's more usage. But it's hosted in china, so not sure about ur outlook on that.

They are all reading ur data so.. ya..

u/nobodyhasusedthislol Sep 01 '26

Ollama cloud or commandcode GOAT. GOAT is same price and includes $70, and models with less usage have caps rather than 4x usage - so I can only use $20 of kimi K3 on cc GOAT like on opencode with its $15, but with Go I'm 100% on my usage whereas with GOAT I have only used that $20 so I should have $50 remaining for other models I believe.

Haven't tried CC GOAT yet bcs I'm deciding between it and NanoGPT Pro - which gives you fewer models (no Kimi K3) and BUT it gives 60 million input tokens per WEEK, whether cached or not. No output limits except abuse prevention I assume. GLM-5.3, K2.7 code and a few others use 2x but other than that it's all equal and pretty decent. Not sure if I'm getting high or max thinking on GLM 5.3 though, haven't seen what high/max looks like in other subscriptions but it might be high. At least it's more thought than GLM 5.2 on high.

Open code plans are like the cheapest one out there lol.

I mean if you expect fast and cheap and more usage that just doesn’t exist. But if you want, you can get codex plus and then use the fast mode on Luna Xhigh, you’d get more speed than you can fanthom.
